This is the BEST Quality set of Science Fiction Radio shows currently available ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!! This is a Custom Collection of what I feel are the BEST 53 Sci-Fi Radio Shows every produced, from shows like X-Minus 1, Dimension X, Suspense, Exploring Tomorrow, 2000 Plus, etc.
I have spent several years tracking down these shows from MANY difference sources (Official Cassette, LP Vinyl, Digital etc) and enhancing shows that are of lower audio quality so as to try to remove muffling, overblown sharp highs, enhance vocals, tighten bass, clean audio, remove hiss, pops, fix speed/pitch etc. On every episode I also normalized the audio levels of speech throughout the episode and loud music/effects portions to be very close to that of the actual performance instead of 4-5 times the volume.
Quality will vary somewhat from episode to episode given the rarity of many of these shows. I have been working on restoring these episodes since 2017. Please be aware that not all episodes are of perfect flawless quality, as source materials which would allow such restoration are extremely rare.
ALL mp3 files are properly tagged and titled. MP3 metadata is also complete with artist, genre, album, album art etc so they will ALL properly show on ANY mp3 player or ipod.

Subject: A Great Introduction to the Theater of the Mind
Old Time Radio (OTR) was the first mass audience information & entertainment medium produced. From the mid-1920s to the early 1960s it was the way the population would gt breaking news, sports, and theater of the mind. With the advent of television in the 1950s, radio drifted to music in the United States, though it continued as a mainstay of entertainment in other parts of the world including Great Britain.
As late as the 1980s and early 90s, the only way you could listen to OTR was through records and cassette tapes. An album would have two shows on it and a cassette collection could have as many as sixty or so, usually centered on a theme like this collection. Where once you could only find a few episodes of a particular program, thanks to sites like the Internet Archive you can listen to collections like this and then seek out all the available episodes of shows you particularly like. A great advancement to be sure.
Thank you to Nicholas Hans Gary for assembling this collection and introducing yet another generation to a valuable form of entertainment and information.
